Summary:
The city of Dearborn, Missouri is home to two schools - North Platte High and North Platte Junior High, both part of the North Platte County R-I school district. These schools serve students from grades 7-12 and appear to be relatively strong performers, ranking in the top half to top third of schools statewide.
North Platte High has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 159 out of 352 Missouri high schools, while North Platte Junior High has a 3-star rating and ranks 143 out of 459 middle schools in the state. Both schools have a very homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white. The junior high has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 27.74% compared to the high school's 21.13%, suggesting more economic challenges at the middle school level. Per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are similar between the two schools, indicating an equitable distribution of resources.
Academically, North Platte Junior High outperforms the state average in 7th grade Math and ELA, but underperforms in 8th grade Math. This points to potential room for improvement in upper middle school academics. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Dearborn are generally well-performing, but there may be opportunities to address racial diversity and strengthen academic outcomes, particularly in 8th grade Math.
